Practising Synodality Webinar Series: ‘Becoming a Synodal Community’
During the first first Synod assembly of the 2021-24 Synod in October 2023, the School for Synodality ran a series of eight webinars exploring becoming a listening Church. With key speakers from both England and Wales and from across the world who help us explore what the practice of Synodality looks like, in our own communities.
‘Becoming a Synodal Community’ with Professor Anna Rowlands
The final session of our Practising Synodality Webinar Series: ‘Becoming a synodal community’, with Prof Anna Rowlands, Office for Synod, Vatican and Durham University.
Professor Anna Rowlands is the St Hilda Professor of Catholic Social Thought and Practice at the Centre for Catholic Studies, Durham University. She was one of the theological advisors for Pope Francis’s Fratelli Tutti document, and one of the co-writers of Enlarge the Space of your Tent, the document for the continental stage of the Synod process.
She has been seconded to the Vatican synod team and was one of the experts at the recent Rome synod. She is in a great position to look across the global Synod process, help us understand what is so distinctive about what is happening now, and share her hopes for the future.
